This is only the second time I've used this one in a year. The first time, I waited 2.5 hours until late at night. This time, the guy said it was going to be two more days. My old Jag is more reliable than this station. I drove 38 miles to Oxnard then back to SB again for work. Last time I use this one.

Update on breakdown. Waited for only two hours. The tech was great and got the pump fixed in about 20 minutes. Good fill plus receipt. He says this is a reliable station. Bad timing for me though.

Error 112. I pulled in because the comments are good. Got here and only one pump that does not even work. Now I have to wait three hours for a tech to drive from Pico Rivera. Run, don't walk, from this station. Not reliable and terrible service response. This is not a nice part of town either.

I have spoken with people who maintain this station re gas being "trucked in from LA." He said that the tank connected to this pump is fed and metered from the local gas main which also fuels all of the gas company vehicles in this area.

SB fills from a cascade ( big tanks filled from trucks bringin cleaner gas from LA, that does not come from the local pipes ), so it is more temp sensitive. Cold morning will get 100%. Hot afternoon might be 70% and up. Also effected by frequency of use, but rarely a line there.

I filled up yesterday and got a 100% fill and my fuel gauge reached the 100% full mark as well. Price was $1.99 too. Thank you for not being like Clean Energy who just jacks up the price when gasoline prices go up.

No problem filling GX, however, it was dark when we were there and the overhead light was not operating. Made me feel unsafe.

The price is now 1.909 -- but the 3600psi pump is only delivering an 87% fill.

Good news is that the new price here is $1.92; the bad news is that the 3600psi pump only delivered a ~90% fill today.

We've filled our new 2012 GX here three times and gotten 100% fills at the 3600psi pump. We're averaging 36mpgge locally and 42 mpgge on a 300 mi. RT to Newport Beach involving a fair amount of stop-and-go traffic. :>)

REMINDER: STATION IS ON 200 BLK OF QUARANTINA.
Stopped by on Sat, 6/25...3600psi gave my '08GX only 82% fill. Not in the greatest neighborhood (even for SB), very dark/remote, so be careful at night. I had my Rottweiler in the back seat, in case.

This was my first trip to Santa Barbara with my Honda. After I found the pump, I was excited to top off my tank. The pump only gave me 1.3 gallons and then shut off. I needed about 3 gallons to fill it up. This pump works but the pressure gauge sucks

The 3600 nozzle has been replaced in the last week, along with the supply hoses. Still don't get a very good fill though.

It's still operational, but does not fuel up to 100%. Around 50~% the last time I fueled up on Friday (4/16).

The address is more like 219 N. Quarantina St (on google maps). The yard is L-shaped, with another exit to the 600 block of E. Yanonali St. Only a 63% fill from the 3600 pump today.
